Excerpt from Wanderings in Some of the Western Republics of America: With Remarks Upon the Cutting of the Great Ship Canal Through Central America Having passed six years in wandering though several of the Republics on the western coast of America, I have beguiled away many a winter evening and rainy day since my return, in putting into order numerous notes, and copying sketches taken during that period of my travels. As I almost lived on horseback, I must have travelled in that manner over more ground than has fallen to the lot of most foreigners in those countries. In this small work, I purpose to take my reader (if he will be kind enough to accompany me) from Chili to the interior of Central America, and I promise him, as far as lies in my power, to avoid any ground that has been so trodden before as to leave a broad, beaten trail. On our arrival in the dense forests of Central America, I will say 'Adios, ' and leave him to return home by any route he prefers, as I wish to meditate there a little on the possibility, practicability, and probability of a great Water Communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but I trust he will remain with me and discuss the question.
